 With the solo show ‚Overexposed' by conceptual artist Paolo Cirio, the art
gallery NOME initiates its exhibition programme on 22 May 2015.

 NOME operates between the realms of art, politics, and technology. By
exploring the nodes of the entanglements between these fields, the gallery
aims to raise critical awareness regarding the crucial issues facing our
age.

 The gallery represents international emerging and mid-career artists such
as James Bridle, Jacob Appelbaum, Matthew Plummer-Fernandez, Ralf Baecker
and Nils Völcker whose works have already been shown at major art
institutions like MoMA New York, Victoria and Albert Museum London and ZKM
Karlsruhe.

 Their practices engage diverse disciplines including computer science,
writing and visual communication, and involve a broad range of media.

 ‚Overexposed', the first exhibition at NOME shows artworks by renowned
artist Paolo Cirio (*1979) noted for his controversial work conceptually
exploring various issues in fields like economy, democracy, privacy,
transparency and copyright while revealing innovative and multiple
aesthetics of exceptional quality and timeliness.
His artworks have been shown at prestigious institutions such as Victoria
and Albert Museum, Museum of Contemporary Art of Denver, Utah Museum of
Contemporary Art and honoured by Ars Electronica with the Golden Nica in
2014.

 NOME will present the results of his public intervention disseminating
unauthorized pictures of high-ranking U.S. intelligence officials
throughout global cities through Stencil HD graffiti. Cirio finds snapshots
of NSA, CIA, and FBI officers through social media hacks. He then
spray-paints high-resolution reproductions of their embarrassing photos
onto public walls, using Cirio’s HD Stencil graffiti technique.
